Someone help me out here. Why do people keep bringing up Sunset Overdrive?

No I don't think anyone is saying that.

Its sure as shit not going to sell 500k in a week.

How can you be so sure? Dark Souls 2 did 1.2M in three weeks even with people waiting on the PC version....

I'm not saying it will or will not do 500k but it's not out of the question. There is a good market for these hardcore action games on console, combine that with the people who have no clue and will buy Bloodborne on hype/PS4hasnogames. It could happen.

Haven't participated in these in a while.

Who is the new leaker? Does creamsugar still come in here or no? Just wanna know PS4 numbers.

No, it went back up after December and they brought it back down to $350 halfway through January, (sales most likely tanked hard). Made sense that the PS4 outsold it in January but February too? Surprising.

Sony had The Order release to boost sales. I think MS had Screamride, but that's pretty inconsequential.

Nintendo is on fire, all they need to do is release a all new 3ds model that plays exclusive games + a remake of a beloved 15 year old game every month for a few years, and they will get close to the original DS numbers. Should do 1 exclusive game per new system, and make them all limited so scalpers can have a field day with them. Good job iwata, keep it up.

Awesome sales for everything pretty much. Even Wii U is up slightly (Smash & MK8 doing the leg work).

Absolutely amazed by the Majora's Mask 3D, MH4U and 3DS sales. 395K is way above my expectations =).

Why is anyone seriously complaining about different versions of the same model for the 3DS? You should have been complaining about this like the minute various Slim versions released, the DS Lite released, etc, not now. Now I'm pretty sure anyone who brings this up is just salty, or doesn't realize the New 3DS basically is just the DSi (faster processor, some functional upgrades (stable 3D vs. DSiWare shop), and an exclusive or two (Xenoblade 3D port vs. entire DSiWare shop)).

How is it surprising? Sony has market leadership, many will want the system there friends are on. I doubt folks are willing to pay for 2 subscription models, and Sony have proven themselves to offer great value with PS+.
 
The remaster of the game pretty much polishes all the painful N64 rough edges and limitations and allows the core game to shine.

As time goes on and gaming matures, we're probably going to see more and more of this; extremely well-made games don't age, outside of technical details that can be upgraded. In the same way that a classic film receives an HD scan for blu-ray and sells fine to a new generation.

One could also view it as proof of the value behind Nintendo's philosophy of making evergreen games. 15 years ago they invested in that title. And it's still paying off today.

The truth right there. Good games are Forever.

Didn't some people said that the fact the price of the XBO went up 2 weeks in January was the reason the PS4 won January NPD?

Yeah; especially since it was during a month in which neither console had major exclusive games.

Both consoles were under 200K that month.

Dark Souls 2 did 1 mil in 3 weeks on two consoles with incredibly large install bases. BB is a new IP, though still very much a Souls game all things considered, launching on one console with a fraction of the number of 360 and PS3 consoles combined. Seems highly unlikely to me. I'll gladly eat my hat next month if I'm wrong.
 
It went back up to $400 for like 10 days.

15 days (half the month) or 10 days, is irrelevant. I'm just surprised the cheaper console isn't outselling the PS4.

Microsoft had a marketing deal with Evolve no? I highly doubt The Order was the main reason, but hey anything's possible.

Guys, MH4U is pre-installed in the SE New 3DS XL. It's not a download code, like ALBW back in November 2013.
It still wouldn't count towards the rankings though. NPD doesn't include software bundled with hardware in the software top ten.
 
PS4 taking that preseason by storm.

I knew i should gone higher with my PS4 prediction but i was a damn pessimist, i blame you for that Neogaf!
